Nvidia's RTX 2080 Ti revisited in 2025: seven years old - and it's still delivering


Nvidia's seven-year-old GPU flagship is still going strong. Digital Foundry stacks it up against today's new mainstream contender.

Well, AMD's upcoming RX 9060 XT launch might have something to say about that, but yesterday's flagship is certainly causing a headache or two for today's 50-series mainstream offering - and emphasises the importance of an appropriate hardware balance between compute power, RT and machine learning features and available VRAM. The PlayStation 4's GPU is effectively a customised Radeon HD 7850/7870 hybrid - but the results in the mid to late era of the console's lifespan effortlessly outstrip what those GPUs produced. However, the RTX 2080 Ti has its disadvantages beyond poor performance with DLSS transformer model ray reconstruction: no frame-gen support and an uncertain future with Nvidia's upcoming ML features.
